Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck set for 'second wedding' with family after Vegas ceremony

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are set to tie the knot again in a 'second wedding' ceremony after the lovebirds tied the knot in Vegas over the weekend.

The singer-actress, 52, and the Hollywood star, 49, tied the knot in an intimate Las Vegas wedding on Saturday.

Last year, the newlyweds rekindled their romance more than 20 years after they first dated which led to Ben getting down on one knee in 2002.

They were then forced to postpone their wedding in September 2003 before they split in the following January.

But the power couple finally walked down the aisle together on July 16 in Sin City after they queued for a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada alongside four other happy couples, according to Lopez.

Now, it has been reported that the lovebirds plan on having another ceremony to celebrate their love for one another - and this time, their beloved friends and family will be present.

A source told PEOPLE that the newlyweds "plan on having a bigger party so they can celebrate with family and friends."

While J-Lo is looking forward to celebrating with her twins Max and Emme, her mother Guadalupe, father David, and sisters Lynda and Leslie, Ben's family includes his three kids Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

He is also close to his brother Casey and their mother Chris and some of his famous pals include Matt Damon and George Clooney.

It comes after Jennifer detailed the events of their Vegas wedding on her official newsletter, On The JLo, on Sunday evening, which also revealed the first images of the bride in her white dress.

All five of the pair's children - Ben shares Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony - were in attendance as witnesses.

According to Jennifer, the couple almost didn't get married as they struggled to make the chapel on time.

"They graciously stayed open late a few minutes," she wrote.

"Let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed)."

On her newsletter, J-Lo published photos of herself in the flowing white dress while Ben took a selfie in a separate changing room as he donned a white jacket and black bow tie for the nuptials.

She lovingly penned: "Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with.

"Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things - and worth waiting for. "

Jennifer signed off the newsletter: "With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck."
